UPDATE, 3:06pm ET: The Instagram post is no longer viewable on Instagram.
In Roger Stone’s new Instagram post on this President’s Day Monday, he appears to be attacking Judge Amy Berman Jackson, the federal judge overseeing his case. The symbol in the upper left corner of the image looks like crosshairs, or a gun target next to her head.
The image will no doubt be read as a call to attack the judge by the violent Qanon crowd that follow Stone’s every word.
Close-up:
Here’s the post. Judge for yourself.

Call me crazy but Roger Stone trashing the judge presiding over his criminal case on Instagram doesn’t seem like an ideal strategy pic.twitter.com/tJ9p0ReVM3

Got a notification for another Roger Stone Instagram post…it’s the judge presiding over his case. And in the upper left hand corner it looks like the symbol for crosshairs. pic.twitter.com/m6IW3QznTF

First prior use of the image I find is at "cosmiconvergence dot org," which is a site filled with anti-Semitic New World Order conspiracies (with a side of Mayan calendar end-times crazy). pic.twitter.com/ihZCTb4oyy

By the way, because it looks like it will come up again thanks to Roger Stone: no, you can't get a new federal judge by insulting your current judge and then claiming resulting bias. https://t.co/NagrKmKeOY
